CubeCart To Shopify Migration

CubeCart is self-hosted, meaning you’re responsible for your own server, uptime, and security patching — the CubeCart team pushes regular security updates, but applying them is on you. Shopify removes that burden entirely with fully managed hosting, so the most common reason merchants migrate is to stop being their own systems administrator.

CubeCart’s self-hosted version is free to use, but that means store owners have typically paid for hosting and any custom Smarty-template development separately over the life of the store. Migration cost depends on your catalog size and how much custom template or extension work needs to be rebuilt on Shopify, not on what you paid for CubeCart itself.

A basic CubeCart store (under 100 products) costs $1,500–$3,000. A medium store (100–500 products) costs $3,000–$7,000. A large store, or one with heavy Smarty template customization to rebuild, ranges from $7,000–$15,000+. EbizON provides a fixed-price quote after auditing your store.

Not with correct redirect mapping. CubeCart’s default URL structure (typically including numeric product and category IDs) doesn’t match Shopify’s, so every indexed URL needs an explicit 301 redirect. EbizON crawls your existing URLs, builds the complete redirect map, and monitors Google Search Console for 2 months post-launch.

All product data (titles, descriptions, images, pricing, SKUs), product variants, categories, customer accounts with order history, reviews, inventory levels, and digital download products are transferred and mapped to Shopify’s data structure.

No, CubeCart’s extensions and code hooks are platform-specific and don’t transfer directly. EbizON audits what your store currently relies on payment gateways, shipping modules, digital-download handling — and identifies the matching Shopify apps from its 13,000+ app marketplace.

Yes. CubeCart’s Smarty templating engine and Shopify’s Liquid templating language are structurally different, so custom designs are rebuilt rather than directly ported. EbizON recreates your store’s look and layout in Liquid, matching the original design or offering a refreshed theme if you prefer.

Yes. You keep your existing domain — we simply point it to Shopify’s servers at launch. Your domain, email addresses, and URLs remain the same, enabling 100% SEO retention and uninterrupted business operations.

A small store takes 2–3 weeks. A medium store takes 3–5 weeks. A large store, or one with extensive custom template work, takes 5–8 weeks. EbizON works on a staging environment so your live CubeCart store stays operational throughout.

EbizON handles both the data migration and the Smarty-to-Liquid template rebuild as part of one process, rather than treating design and data as separate projects. Every migration includes a complete data audit, zero downtime, full SEO retention with redirect mapping, app-equivalent mapping, and 2 months of post-launch performance monitoring.
